Customer Reviews

Thoroughly enjoyable read

I have read a number of the Roger the Chapman series by Kate Sedley, not necessarily in chronological order (although I would recommend going in order). This is the third book in the series and extremely satisfying. Roger is a completely believalbe and likeable character. The mood Sedley creates in this book, with Roger starting off sick, and the coldness of January in medeival England had me reading the book cover to cover in two days. The descriptions were satisfying and the relationships interesting. I would heartily recommend this book to historical fiction lovers and anyone who likes a good mystery.

Also called "The Weaver's Tale"

The third entry in the "Roger the Chapman" medieval mystery series was also released in the US as "The Weaver's Tale" and can be found much more reasonably priced under that title. A good entry, and one which establishes Roger with a homelife -- not that he'll give up his wandering ways.

excellent mystery and history

I truly enjoy this series. I have my friends in the UK send me her books before they are published in the US. Great sense of period and great characters.

the book was great extremely whitty .

I think Roger is a clever in his dective work things just fall in to place for him. People seem to give him information all the time.I have read 5 of her books and loved them.
